The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor for arterial respiratory gases O2
and CO2 and pH, eliciting reflex ventilatory, cardiovascular, and humoral responses to …

The discovery of the sensory nature of the carotid body dates back to the beginning of the
20th century. Following these seminal discoveries, research into carotid body mechanisms …

Animal respiration is the process by which oxygen (0,) is delivered to the cells to oxidize
nutrients and obtain the energy necessary for all vital functions; carbon dioxide (CO,) is …

The carotid body (CB) is an arterial chemoreceptor organ located in the carotid bifurcation
and has a well-recognized role in cardiorespiratory regulation. The CB contains …

1. Hypoxic stimuli depolarize carotid body type I cells causing voltage‐gated calcium influx.
This study investigates the cause of this membrane depolarization. Isolated type I cells from …

We have investigated the changes of cytosolic [Ca2+] and the secretory activity in single
glomus cells dispersed from rabbit carotid bodies during exposure to solutions with variable …

Carotid body (CB) glomus cells from rat express a TASK‐like background K+ channel that is
believed to play a critical role in the regulation of excitability and hypoxia‐induced increase …

Arterial chemoreceptors play a vital role in cardiorespiratory control by providing the brain
with information regarding blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH. The main chemoreceptor …

The carotid body (CB) is a neural crest-derived organ whose major function is to sense
changes in arterial oxygen tension to elicit hyperventilation in hypoxia. The CB is composed …

The carotid bodies are arterial chemoreceptors that are sensitive to blood Poe, Pco2 and
pH. They are the origin of reflexes that are crucial for maintaining Pco~ and pH in the …
